The Kid Who Exposed Himself in a Yearbook Photo Will Avoid the 69 Charges Against Him

The Arizona high school football player who exposed his genitals during a team yearbook photo has avoided a severe dose of justice, Deadspin reports. The Maricopa County attorney's office announced Thursday that the (gulp) 69 charges initially filed against 19-year-old Hunter Osborn will not go move forward. Osborn exposed himself on a dare for the photo, which ended up making it into the yearbook that was distributed to the entire student body, but the authorities ultimately decided against tagging him with a bunch of potentially life-ruining felonies.

"An assessment of the available evidence for the felony charge of Furnishing Harmful Items to Minors, ARS 13-3506.A., leads us to conclude that the evidence does not establish a violation of the statute," said County Attorney Bill Montgomery.

Mesa police, who went after Osborn initially, also announced no one else in the photo (Osborn's teammates) wanted to press charges, either. All in all, it's probably the right outcome. Osborn is a (foolish) kid, not a felon and possible sex offender.
